3 days at china !!
we have win 3 ticket to go traveling at CHINA !! i we always dreamed about to traveling at china, the place i always wanted to go is BEIJING !
Beijing is getting a facelift for the 2008 Olympics - you'll be amazed at the amount of construction going on in the city. But in between the jackhammers and cranes, you'll find some of China's most historic and beautiful national treasures. You could spend weeks seeing all there is to see in Beijing, but if you only have a few days, make the most out of them.
I'm a very independent traveler, the first time I visited Beijing, I booked a few tours. There are pros and cons to this approach, but I find it's a great way to sight-see the history out of a place where the guidebooks leave you short. . Booking tours is very easy through your HOTEL IN BEIJING. Once you have your reservations, contact your hotel and they will help you set up a group or private tour.
here i want tell you about our experience at CHINA !!
Day One:
Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park
.
.
From Subway Line 2, Qianmen Station exit
A, you can walk in a straight line through the Square, right through the
Forbidden City and to Jingshan Park. Along the way you can stop at the
“Maosoleum” or Mao's tomb if you're interested.
Tiananmen: Its a huge square. Did you see any of the 60th
Anniversary celebrations that were held here at.. Its also an experience just to go
to see how controlled it is, all the plain clothes officers masquerading
as tourists, all the cameras and security. The Great Hall of the People
will be on your left and China National Museum will be on your right.
Last I heard, the Museum was still being renovated....
Walk North towards Mao's picture.
The Forbidden City is impressive, but
essentially you're paying admission for a long walk. In my opinion, its
the kind of thing you do once, to say you did, and then you never need
go again. I firmly believe though that if you come to Beijing and don't
go to the Forbidden City, you'll regret it because you'll get hassled
back home by people who can't believe you didn't go... so just go. Be
impressed by the interesting roof tiles and decorations, all the
buildings, and the massive courtyards. Who knows why the Emperor's wives
needed that many rooms?!
Day Two:
Summer Palace and Acrobat Show and Wangfujing Night Market
Take Subway line 4 up to Xiyuan and
follow the signs for Summer Palace. Its about a 10 minute walk. The
Summer Palace is a great place to bring a book and have a picnic or to
wander. Take the boats on the lake, walk across the 17 Arch Bridge and
see a fantastic view of the temple on the hill.
In the afternoon, take the subway back to
Hujialuo, granted it is on the other side of the city, but you can get
tickets for the acrobat show that plays in the late afternoon or in the
early evening. Its about an hour and its pretty neat. Then go see the
Wangfujing Night Market, if the tasties they offer there don't strike
your fancy, there are plenty of cheap but delicious restaurants in the
area.THERE ARE ALSO HAVE MANY HALAL RESTAURANT.!!
Day Three:
Great Wall
, I woke up early on the day
you're going to the Great Wall. You can take a bus from Dongzhimen
station or you can hire a private driver or a taxi. I like to go with a
driver and if you have friends in Beijing, they probably know someone
with a car looking to make some extra money. A taxi would run you about
400RMB, and many will take you if you agree on a flat price before you
leave. He'll wait for you at the Wall while you're exploring and drive
you back to the City.
There are many different spots to visit
but my favorite part of the Wall is Mutianyu
. Its not too crowded and
touristy, like Badaling, although the path leading to the Wall is full
of kitschy paraphernaliaeant to woo and entice the laowai.
Bring a picnic lunch, saunter along the Wall and enjoy some spectacular views.
When you're full of fresh air and getting
peckish go back to the Dongzhimen area and eat dinner at the best
Xingjiang restaurant in Beijing, Crescent Moon in Dongsiliutiao Alley.
It guaranteed to please.
And there you have it. Beijing in 3 days. It can be done. Theres loads of things to do in the evenings if you wish too. And while the things I mentioned are by no means the only things to do, its good for travelers who are blowing through Beijing on their way somewhere else or have a long weekend to spend. Happy travels!
